00:21Episode 539, Confidence is Key
00:25You're supposed to be objective and professional.
00:30You're judging how well someone acts, not how long they've been acting.
00:34If you were doing that and eliminated Emma, I would understand.
00:38But you're not.
00:40Can someone please tell me what's going on?
00:43Christopher asked angrily.
00:45The room fell into an awkward silence before a senior film critic adjusted his glasses
00:50and spoke up.
00:52This award represents the highest quality performance in the country
00:56and is held in the highest regard.
00:58Therefore, the person we choose needs to not only be a great actor,
01:03but also needs the public's respect, which Emma does not have.
01:08She has a bad reputation, is arrogant, and flagrantly breaks industry rules.
01:15All the nominees can act, but she's the only one who consistently has her personal life
01:20in the headlines despite only releasing two films.
01:24Christopher faced the rest of the judges.
01:27Do you all feel this way?
01:29They all nodded, some looking nervous.
01:32Can any of you tell me which part of Emma's reputation is bad?
01:36Christopher asked, raising his eyebrows.
01:39Everyone remains silent, neither providing an example nor changing their stance.
01:46Fine if you just don't like her.
01:48There's nothing I can do about that.
01:51I hope you don't mind if I show you one more thing before I leave.
01:55The judges warily watched as Christopher waved over a staff member
01:59and whispered some instructions into his ear.
02:02A moment later, Christopher had pulled up behind-the-scenes footage from Weird Husband.
02:07Included were various clips of Emma practicing her scenes when she thought no one was looking
02:12and the harsh environments she had filmed in without complaining.
02:16Christopher sighed and shook his head as he watched them.
02:20It's a shame how you all ignore how dedicated she is.
02:23I don't know why you all hate her.
02:25Her fans and most of the American public adore her.
02:29Personally, I don't think I've ever seen her behave arrogantly.
02:34Anyone care to explain?
02:36This time, everyone looked away, avoiding eye contact.
02:40Although Christopher could guess why they disliked her, he had no definitive answer.
02:46It could be anything.
02:47Family rumors.
02:48Their dislike of Eric or jealousy of her success.
02:52How about we postpone the selection until tomorrow?
02:56It'll give you an opportunity to go home and think things over carefully before deciding.
03:01Christopher suggested.
03:03The senior film critics stood up.
03:05You can postpone until next year.
03:07It won't change my decision.
03:10He said before storming out of the room,
03:12while the judges were used to arguing over details of a film while making their decision,
03:18they had never been so boldly accused of bias before.
03:21Many of them felt like Christopher wanted the votes reviewed in favor of his grandson's wife.
03:27It seemed the public largely agreed that Christopher was trying to influence the vote
03:32after news of the disagreement leaked.
03:34People discussed the rumors online.
03:37Apparently, the decision was already set.
03:40But Christopher Roberts refused to accept the decision unless Emma won.
03:44One blogger posted, someone commented,
03:47it looks like you can strong arm your way into the awards now.
03:51During the incident, the public votes for Emma were cleared from the system.
03:56Once again, demoting her as a nominee.
03:59Emma felt bleak as she watched it all unfold.
04:03When Luke heard the news, he rushed into Eric's office.
04:07I don't understand what's going on.
04:09How should we handle this? He asked.
04:12Eric rubbed his head in frustration.
04:15Although my grandfather's behavior attracted a lot of negative attention,
04:19it's good for Emma.
04:20It buys her more time to get the votes properly reviewed.
04:24What if the results don't change?
04:26Luke asked nervously.
04:28Eric was thinking about the problem and looking for solutions.
04:32When he didn't answer the question, Luke decided not to pursue it further.
04:37I didn't expect them to be completely objective,
04:40but I had hoped they wouldn't eliminate Emma from the top five for petty reasons, he thought.
04:47I never would have thought receiving an award could cause this much grief.
04:51Lisa said as she walked through the park near Emma's home with her.
04:55I didn't expect it to be any easier than becoming a supermodel.
04:59Was, Emma replied with a shrug.
05:02Lace aside, but doesn't it bother you?
05:05You know what you deserve the award, but even if you win,
05:09you'll just feel relieved that the process is over.
05:12Emma patted her arm gently to comfort her.
05:15The judges will make the right decision.
05:18After all, they have a reputation to uphold.
05:21I wish I had even half the confidence you have, Lisa said.
05:25She didn't realize Emma had no intention of sitting on her hands
05:29and just hoping the judges would be fair.
05:31Emma winked at her friend.
05:32Don't worry, no one can take away what's meant to be mine.
05:37Lisa looked at her curiously.
05:39You have a plan, don't you?
05:41She asked.
05:42Emma gave her a mischievous smile and walked ahead without saying a word.
05:47Episode 540.
05:49Damned if she wins, damned if she loses.
05:53The annual film awards were prestigious,
05:56and the judges tried to avoid letting the public know when they had internal conflict over the nominees.
06:01Because of this, Emma thought it was unlikely that
06:04outsiders were receiving information from an inside source.
06:08If the judges exposed their conflicts to the public,
06:11Emma would be criticized whether or not she won an award.
06:16If she didn't receive the award,
06:18people would say she caused a huge commotion only to go home empty-handed.
06:24If she did receive the award, people would say she cheated to get it.
06:28People would say she cheated to get it.
06:30She didn't think the predicament she had been put in was a coincidence.
06:34Although the judges wanted to appear fair,
06:37every corner of the entertainment industry had a dark underbelly.
06:41She didn't care who had gotten to the judges or what their motive was.
06:46She would fight back no matter what.
06:48That night, Emma found Eric working late on his computer at home.
06:54She watched him through the door,
06:56certain that he was trying to solve her problem with the judges.
06:59She knew that because she had given up modeling to pursue acting.
07:03He felt as if he owed her a debt,
07:06and the people targeted her because of her association with Kaleidoscope.
07:10She jumped when he spoke.
07:12What are you doing up?
07:14Aren't you tired?
07:16He asked.
07:17She smiled and stepped into his office.
07:20I haven't been sleeping well lately.
07:23I think I miss my husband.
07:25She responded.
07:26He lifted his head and waved her over.
07:29Come here.
07:30She walked in and sat down on his lap,
07:32wrapping her arms around his neck.
07:35Eric, she began.
07:37Yes, he asked.
07:39I would appreciate it if you could get involved this time.
07:43To be honest, I do care whether I win or not.
07:46I'm not generous enough to let someone else steal the award from me.
07:50She admitted.
07:51He kissed the side of her head.
07:54I won't let anyone stop you from getting what you deserve.
07:57She felt reassured as she looked into his eyes,
08:00already suspecting what he had planned.
08:03Since the issue had escalated and spread to the public,
08:07Kaleidoscope intervened by releasing their own statement
08:10about their confidence in the voting process.
08:14The goal was to remove doubt
08:16so that no one could diminish Emma's achievement if she won.
08:20Then Eric released a personal statement
08:22addressed to the fans called Why Emma Miller Deserves an Award.
08:27He wanted to convince the public with facts
08:30about how qualified she was to receive an award.
08:34He knew that criticizing the judges or the other actors
08:37was not the right move to make.
08:39Instead of comparing her to the nominees she was competing against,
08:43he compared her to the last three winners of the Best Newcomer Award.
08:47He quoted well,
08:49respected film critics to show support for his claim.
08:52Comments on Kaleidoscope's statement and Eric's post quickly came in,
08:56although not all of them were positive.
08:59Emma is a good actress,
09:01but we can't ignore Kaleidoscope's influence.
09:05Someone said,
09:06a movie buff exclaimed,
09:08I'm enjoying how fierce the competition
09:10for the Best Newcomer Award is this year.
09:13Another person replied,
09:15Another person replied,
09:17Let's not forget Janet Mitchell.
09:19She did an incredible job and survived.
09:22I feel like everyone is exaggerating the influence Emma has.
09:27She mostly minds her own business.
09:29It's everyone else who keeps bringing her up.
09:32One of Emma's fans complained,
09:35She's damned if she wins and damned if she loses.
09:39I feel bad for her.
09:40Another person agreed.
09:43People within the industry were also keeping a close eye on the awards.
09:47They knew that regardless of how the judging was going,
09:50Emma was the biggest competitor.
09:52She was dedicated,
09:54skilled,
09:54and had access to the deep pockets of Kaleidoscope and Eric at the Baines household.
10:01Claire had just returned home from a camping trip
10:04and was eager to wash off the dirt and grime as she walked by the living room.
10:09She overheard her father and his wife laughing,
10:12Claire quickly stopped by and greeted him while ignoring Janet entirely.
10:17When she stepped back out into the hallway,
10:20she heard Janet say,
10:21Thank you, Edward.
10:23I don't know how I would have dealt with Emma without you.
10:26Edward pulled her close with one arm,
10:29a cigar dangling precariously in his other hand.
10:32You've stood by my side for so many years,
10:35and acting is your only hobby.
10:37How could I say no to you when you wanted an award?
10:41Claire gagged at their flirting and left.
10:44She continued thinking about what they had said about Emma,
10:47whom she deeply admired after the incident at the Millercore.
10:51Annual celebration.
10:53I can't believe it, she thought.
10:56The root of Emma's problems is the witch sitting downstairs.
11:00After she showered and changed,
11:02she returned to the living room and spotted Janet sitting alone on the sofa.
11:06She plopped down next to her and casually said,
11:09I knew you were a snake,
11:12but I didn't think you would try to cheat your way into winning an award.
11:16What are you talking about?
11:18Janet asked, her face turning red.
11:21Claire ignored her.
11:22You're not a bad actress.
11:24I just didn't think you'd be so intimidated by Emma
11:27that you would use my father and his friends to tear her down.
11:32Show some respect.
11:33I'm your stepmother.
11:35Janet snapped.
11:37Stepmother?
11:39Claire scoffed.
11:41Aren't you younger than me?
11:43How about you show me some respect instead?
11:46If you want someone to boss around,
11:48maybe you should have your own child.
11:51Otherwise, leave me alone.
11:54Janet sputtered angrily.
11:57Claire got up.
11:59Tired of the conversation,
12:01she paused in the doorway, glancing back with a thoughtful look and added,
12:07You know, I really like Emma.
12:09You better hope nobody asks me about this.
12:12Thank you so much for watching.
